The Best Funeral Potatoes

A cheesy potato casserole full of melted cheese, sour cream, onions, and garlic with a crunchy top. This is full of amazing flavor and will be the star of the dinner table!

I recently got an amazing new cookbook called Festive Feasts from my friend Jeni over at Bakerette. This book has all of your holiday meals covered from Halloween to Christmas. I spent days trying to decide what to make because everything in the book was delicious! From starters to desserts every part of your meal planning is covered in this cookbook. Including treats and gifts for the neighbors. I have already made four recipes in this book and can’t wait to make more!

Choosing what to make from the cookbook was a challenge! But as soon as I saw funeral potatoes, I knew that they had to make a debut on the blog. Funeral Potatoes are pretty popular here in Utah. They get their name from the Mormon church because they are typically served at a luncheon after a funeral.

These Funeral Potatoes are hands down my favorite side. EVER.

Now I have had a lot of funeral potatoes in my day and I promise that these are the BEST! The flavor is absolutely amazing. Plus they only take minutes to put together. The shredded potatoes, cheese, sour cream, onion, and garlic all come together so easily in this full of flavor casserole. But I have to say that I think the crunchy buttery cornflake topping is my favorite part. It adds such a fun crunchy texture to the top of this casserole.

You won’t be able to stop eating it. You will want to continue making this cheesy potato side dish year round. It is so good that it will instantly become a family favorite. It will be a hit at the dinner table and you will love it just as much as our family did!

Comments

It feeds a lot of people and is a comfort food, so it is most often the potato dish of choice for family luncheons after a funeral. My mom disliked associating them with funerals, so we call them cheesy potatoes at our house.
